Judge Gresham for the Presidency.

To the Editor OF the indianapolis Journals
l am delighted with the unanimity of the
Democratic party on the nomination of Judge
Gresham for the presidency. He is an honor
able ana worthy man. and If the Democrats
succeed in nominating him on the Republican
ticket he will get the support of every Repuo-
lican in Indiana; and he ought to get great
many Democrats, but he won't. 1t is no hos
tility to Judge Gresham that leads the Repub-
licans of Indiana to prefer General Harrison.
Judge Gresham is already in one of the most
honorable and distinguished positions possible
for American citizen, and one which has
necessarily kept him for many years from
active participation in public affairs. The
people have confidence in his judicial fairness
and ability. and wish to keep him where he is,
rather than run the risk of getting one in
his place less worthy. On the other
hand, General Harrison is of the people
and with the people, and the Republican people
take to him naturally. Let the Democrats
nominate Judge Gresham for us If they can,
but at present any attempt Of theirs to get up
faction among Indiana Repub licans by boosting
Judge Gresham will be abortive. No wonder
they hate General Harrison. He has some very
hateful ways about him, viewed from the Demo-
cratic stand point but the Republicans done see
it in that light. Z. L. SEE.

AN ENTERTAINMENT BY CHINAMEN.
How the Celestials Make Music, Worship Theil
Idols, Eat and Get Married.

novel entertainment was given at the Vir
einia- avenue Rink. last night under the man
agement Of the Young Ladies' Missionary So
ciety of the Seventh Presbyteria Church.
Every seat in the spacious building was occu-
pied. and the novelty of the performance won
for it the closest attention. 1t was given by
four Chinese students, of Portland, Ore, who
have become Christians and are preparing to re-
turn to their country missionaries
The first number afforded an example of Chi
nese music on the ngetcom-in English, the
moon instrument 1t was not enhancing, but
the audience rewarded the performer with a
round of applause. The next feature, and one
equally as novel, gospel hymn in Chinese
words, was as apparently free from harmony as
the ngetcom. Another song further illustrated
the idea this strange people have of music.
An opium outfit was exhibited and explained
by one of the students, who throughout the
evening served as lecturer. Idols joss paper
and a prayer-machine also added interest to the
exhibit Chop-sticks and mode OF eating were
also introduced, and after this came Chinese
conversation ard Scripture reading, to be fol-
lowed by more music on goDgs. drum, horn,
romyen, yerren, the oue-string fiddle and other
instruments TO complete the orchestra
a long explanation of the Chinese marriage
customs was gwen, maze more lnteIIgl0le 0y a
wedding itself, in which one o: the students and
young lady had the parts of bride and groom.
1t consisted mostly in salaams to each and to the
ancestral tablets. The groom sang a marriage
song OF love. after which came tea drinking.
About the room were displayed large number
of Chinese curios, which the audience was in
vited to examine at the close of the perform
ance. In addition. the young ladies served re-
freshments, and the evening closed with social
greetings, in the midst of which the students an
their curios received much attention.

TAXING ADVANTAGE OF THE CITY.
Passage of an Ordinance that Gives Extraor.
binary Rights to the Street-Car Company.

The Common Council and the Board of Alder
men have just discovered that they allowed the
Street Railway Company to take advantage of
them in the passage of the ordinance relating to
the use of the new Illinois street tunnel. The
ordinance. as passed, gives the company privi-
leges that they have never before been granted.
It gives to them the same rights in the tunnel
that they have all streets in the city. The
ordinance granting coextensive rights passed
the Council, and when it reached the Board of
Aldermen two weeks ago. it was sent to the COM
mittee streets and alleys. At the Monday
night meeting majority and minority report
were received from the committee The MAORI
ty report was signed by Alderman Schmidt and
City Attorney Taylor, and was in favor of strik-
ing out the coextensive clause. and the minori-
ty report, signed by Alderman Rail. favored the
bill as it came from the Council. Without any
discussion. the minority report was adopted, and
the ordinance passed, Aldermen Brown Schmidt,
Wright and Endly voting Alderman Prier
was absent, and the affirmative was 5. The
/ city attorney was strongly opposed to passing
the ordinance, for under it the city will expert
ence the same trouble with the company that
has been had under the ordinance giving them
rights on the streets Tho question as to whether
the company shall be compelled to bear any of
the expense in building the tunnel roadway will
come up. and it is very doubtful if there is any
thing in the ordinance that will require them to
do so. By its passage the company is granted
the use of the tunnel until 1901, and cannot be
put out Several of the aldermen and nearly
all of the councilmen say they voted for the
ordinance without knowing what it really
meant, and it is probable that special meeting
of the Board of Aldermen will be called this
week to reconsider it. Alderman Prier, who was
absent. is opposed to it, and Pritchard, it is
derstood, desires to vote no, if the action be
reconsidered.
| A misunderstanding that threatens to delay
! the rebuilding of the tunnel has arisen between
/ o1tx -ofSso vfv,o
ny. The latter claims that under the ordinance
| passed by the Council and Board of Alderman
! nothing more required of it than to pay into
the city treasury $50 coo for repairs to the tun-
mel, and this they have done. Now there is a
! dispute to who shall let the contract The
| city attorney says that if this responsibility is
| assumed by the city it will be liable for conse-
quential damages, and he has advised against
| taking this risk. The railway company claims
to have mad in view this very point, and protect
| ed itself for the reason that it would have been
unwilling to have anything to do with the
project if it was required to assume this risk.
